Peters played at Notre Dame, where she was Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2012. She led a Notre Dame squad that finished second in the 2012 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.[2]

Peters made her WNBA debut on May 20, 2012 with the Minnesota Lynx, scoring 3 points and grabbing 4 rebounds in a win over the Phoenix Mercury.[3]

Peters quickly became the first power forward off the bench, and led the team in field goal percentage through sixteen games. In July, Peters broke a finger on her left hand, forcing her to miss three games.[4]

Peters would remain the primary backup in 2013, leading the Lynx in blocked shots. She played a key role in the Lynx's second WNBA championship, serving as a reliable defensive presence.

On February 2, 2016, Peters was traded to the Indiana Fever in exchange for Natasha Howard.[5]

On February 5, 2018, Peters signed a contract with the Washington Mystics.[6]
